Was thinking of what i would buy early Oct 2022, normally wait for K & C and if nothing i fancy i would just spend $250+ [get the free postage] and/or buy some things from TSRARE in Italy, but the Palpay exchange rate today is
£1 = $1.02 - 2 months ago it closer to $1.18
£1 = €1.07 - 2 months ago it closer to $1.17
Think i may leave it for a while and hope our governement get so much grief they have to do something. Mini budget last week cut the top rate of income tax from 45% to 40% for earners over £150 000 per year, that was less than 1% of the population, while getting rid of bankers bonuses cap, which was at 200% of salary........ as 200% of your salary is not a big enough bonus!
Made world news ofcourse and 2 things struck me, firstly, the Bank of England was having to do things to ease problems caused by the UK government and secondly, over the last couple of days UK currency has been the second worse performing currency in the world after the Ariary [Madagascar].
While a Conservative politician actually claimed the mini budget was not the reason, the reason was because the markets were spooked by the thought of a new Labour, left wing, government. We are not scheduled to have another election for 2 years.
me thinks better buy a new comb as there might be lousy times ahead.
